You can delete the injector codes and have the PCM control spark on the motor, and run the trans still (as long as you have the MAP sensor still hooked up, as well as all the other sensors besides the MAF).

^This is the best and most cost effective route to move to carb and retain trans control. In this case it's a plus as you get spark control too.

Drill and tap the intake or get a carb spacer with a vacuum port.

Yep, just run a normal SD tune (with the addition of deleting injector codes) and the PCM will be none-the-wiser (just like doing a fuel-only megasquirt conversion).
